Sun behind cloud emoji meaning

The sun behind cloud emoji typically depicts a yellow or orange sun partially obscured by a white or gray cloud. The sun is usually shown as a circle with rays or beams emanating from it, and the cloud is usually shown as a fluffy, white shape. The cloud may cover only a portion of the sun, such as the top or bottom of it. This emoji is often used to represent a partly cloudy day, or indicate that something is not completely obscured or hidden, and still can be found or seen. It could also be used to express that even though there might be challenges or obstacles, the positive aspect of it still shines through. This emoji can also indicate the concept of hope, that despite difficulties the positive outcome still can happen.

The sun behind cloud emoji is also known as Partly Sunny Emoji.
